as someone pointed out, use the Save command within Options.

BUT, why does Lynx persist with the Novice/Intermediate/Advanced option?
isn't Advanced suitable for everyone?
we get lots of inquiries from novices who don't even know about  h ;
and lots more from not-so-novices who want the URL displayed (like this one).

why not simply make Advanced the only display,
but replace  -more-  by  h)elp  at the beginning of the line?
Novices can then go get all the help they want & everyone else can see the URL.
 -more-  is redundant, since the length & current page are shown at top right.
